How does the angular separation of interference fringes change, in Young's experiment, if the distance between the slits is increased?

Angular seperation of interference fring is given by, 

                      ω = λDd 

Therefore, when separation between slits (d) is increased, then fringe width 'ω' is decreased since, they have an inverse dependence.

How does the fringe width of interference fringes change, when whole apparatus of Young's experiment is kept in a liquid of refractive index 1.3?

The fringe width in a Young's double-slit experiment is given by
 
                             ω =λDd 

The fringe width is not affected if the whole apparatus is placed in a liquid of refractive index 1.3.

If the angle between the pass axis of polarizer and the analyser is 45°, write the ratio of the intensities of original light and the transmitted light after passing through the analyser.

Given,
Angle between pass axis of polarizer and analyser, θ = 45° 

Using formula,
                          I = I0 cos2θ 

                     I = I0(cos 45°)2 

                      I =I0122 

                      II0 = 12 

i.e.,                    I : I0 = 1:2. 

is the required ratio of intensities of original light and transmitted lightafter passing through the analyzer.

A ray of light falls an a transparent slab of μ = 1.732. If reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular, what is the angle of incidence?

Refractive index of transparent slab, μ = 1.732 
Reflected rays and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other. 

Using formula,

                          tan ip = μ 

                      tan ip = 1.732 

                            ip = tan-1(1.732)     = tan-1(3) 

i.e.,                           ip = 60°.

In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is halved. How does it affect the size and intensity of the central maximum?


Size of central maximum  λa
When, width of the slit is halved, size becomes double and intensity reduces to one-fourth.
